Chapter 5 Insomnia
Tossing and turning on the small bed, Nian Lingna tried to restrain her thoughts and not guess what was going on in the next room.
But things went against her wishes. The more she tried her best to control her, the more active her imagination would become, and the more she didn't want to see the scene in her mind.
It was like I was wrestling my own arm, and I couldn't tell who would win or lose. After a long stalemate, Nian Lingna opened her eyes and finally realized one thing: I had insomnia.
The alarm clock at the head of the bed turned tirelessly, making a subtle sound. The moonlight passed through the gaps in the curtains and printed a narrow band of light on the floor. From time to time, one or two dog barkings came from the residential area outside, and it was soon swallowed up by endless darkness, making the night even more silent.
Looking at the shadow floating on the ceiling, Nian Lingna quietly held her breath, pricked up her ears, and captured the sound of the next room.
Nothing was heard.
It seems that the scenes imagined did not happen. This discovery made Nian Lingna breathe a long sigh, turn her stiff neck, and her body sink a little deeper in the soft bed, and she couldn't help but recall the scene when she first saw Shimizu Toru.
Because he didn't see other girls by his side and had no courage to ask, so... he should be single, right?
With such relaxed thoughts, I would slowly think about how to approach him. I pretended to pass by the study inadvertently, pretended to send a birthday invitation casually, and called his phone number as if I touched my phone by mistake.
Just like climbing a mountain, the top of the mountain is there anyway, so he won't change anyway. Even if he doesn't have the courage to confess directly, even if he doesn't understand the so-called love skills, as long as he gets closer, there will always be a day when he succeeds in reaching the top, right?
Until... I met Nanami Nanami who was by his side in Hayami study.
Although they cooperated tacitly and often went in and out, they deceived themselves, Nian Lingnai subconsciously ignored the observed details and continued to implement his small plan to approach him.
Even though the situation that was most worried was revealed by Hashimoto Ai, he instantly accepted the statement that "Nanami Shinmi may be an assistant."
It must...it must be like this.
He believed in this statement for no reason, because Nian Lingna also understood that only in this way could he suppress his worries about the relationship between them to an invisible corner.
However, no matter how firmly believed, it still seems too pale in the face of facts.
Nanami appeared at his residence and prepared supper. She was also familiar with the things in the room. Her words revealed her aura of claiming to be a girlfriend, and her eyes also had an hostility towards herself.
Sure enough, are they dating?
Thinking of this, Nian Lingna suddenly felt her chest tightening and forcibly interrupted her thoughts. After a while of excitement, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
The young lady Qijian was so beautiful, she cooked very well, and was also a student from a well-known university. She was just a young actor from the countryside, with no reputation and ability...
The most important thing is the momentum.
Thinking of the scene at dinner, Ninian Rena suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed.
If I could be like Miss Qijian, at least... I wouldn't be fooled into living in her room by a few words, and then I saw her staying in Qingshui Sang on the grounds of the small space, right?
The body was stimulated by the cold air, and Nian Lingna's unwillingness and jealousy suddenly swelled.
If I could confess to Qingshuisang earlier...
Although the imagined picture is beautiful enough, the ubiquitous panic quickly captured her back to reality and thought about how to deal with Nanami Shimi.
She would definitely not be able to attack directly with her head, and she would definitely be seen through instantly. After seeing Nanami's methods, Nian Reina knew that she had no chance of winning when facing her head. However, due to her lack of love experience, she could not find any other way.
While thinking hard, a thought suddenly emerged: Since it is very likely that you can't win, then do you have to choose to give up?
Just imagined that scene a little, the tingling sensation from his heart made Nian Lingna dispel that idea. What followed was not determination, but a deeper fear.
She found that she had been prepared to give up without realizing it.
At that time, because of his longing for Yui Aragaki, he signed up for the selection meeting held by Lespros. After being lucky enough to pass, he kept fantasizing that he could become an actress like her. However, now he has reached his fifth year of becoming an artist, but he is still an unknown young actor and can only play some background roles.
The firm can feel the attitude towards itself and never put any expectations. In addition, the irritable agent and the stern president... all kinds of factors are superimposed. If I want to become a real actor, I can only look forward to the legendary miracle, right?
But she still believed that as long as she persisted, there would always be roles that would be suitable for her. However, when she saw actors of the same age gradually gaining popularity, she was the only one who stayed there all the time. Even with the so-called dreams as support, Nian Lingna was a little lacking in confidence.
Recently, even the opportunity to wait was deprived of the punishment of "not arranging work within two years", and the final little hope was completely shattered.
In this case, I accidentally saw the news of the selection of "Night Hike". Nian Lingna found that this seemed to be an opportunity. An opportunity to say goodbye.
As long as I meet Kiyomizu Sang in the last selection, I should be able to... be satisfied... and simply... go back to my home in Hyogo Prefecture and give up everything in Tokyo completely?
With this idea, Neng Nian Lingna hesitated to send out the registration form, and then sorted out her luggage on the day of the selection, bought the ticket, and prepared to board the train home after the selection.
I met him at the selection site. I was stunned and didn’t even finish the performance. I couldn’t control my emotions and ran out of the selection venue.
Walking on the road, I keep comforting myself: There are no regrets anymore, right? You can also come to Tokyo after graduating from high school...
However, tears didn't listen to these things and accumulated themselves in their eyes. Then, Qingshui was completely trapped.
So, I seemed to have the possibility of becoming an actor again, the hope of staying in Tokyo, and the opportunity to continue to approach him...
Therefore, when Ms. Shangi asked herself, "Is it acceptable to do any suggestions?", she nodded without hesitation.
However, Nanami Nanami appeared in Kiyomizu San's apartment, exuding a faint hostility.
Although I don’t seem to be as good as her from any angle, do you have to choose to give up because of this?
I tried to imagine what I would look like after giving up. Just as this idea was just formed, a feeling of grievance that was more intense than last time suddenly surged up, making Neng Nian Lingna feel a soreness on her nose.
Unconsciously fell on the bed, the thick bedding temporarily isolated the chill in the air. Ninian Rena curled into a ball in the quilt and murmured: "Qingmizu Sang...what should I do..."
Not long after, a faint sob suddenly sounded in the narrow room.
